ESA’s ESTEC Open Day has been running every year since 2011, and regularly attracts upwards of 12000 visitors. It offers the general public an annual window on to the world of space, playing host to inspiring demonstrations, videos, animations, talks and more.

As the world’s largest space conference, every year the International Astronautical Congress (IAC) brings together leaders in space from across the globe – heads of major space agencies, astronauts, senior space engineers and policy makers.
